[@MNtrapperjake]

Nice video you have a ton of traps

[@Biglandtrapper]

Thank's, it's good to getter started ..!!

[@trouttrapper]

I like your video and your new make boxes, you biglanders do come up with some innovative concoctions to say the least...awesome job!!! What does your marten population look like so far this year?

[@Biglandtrapper]

I use many different types but barnes marten magic is one I use often, going to try out some new types this year, looking forward to it, I'll show it in later vids ..!!

[@Biglandtrapper]

I use different types of bait but turbot (Greenland Halibut), some salt & some frozen fresh is what I use most. I also like smelts, caplin, mackeral, seal meat, & beaver meat. Thank's for the comment ..!!

[@Gonzo3780]

Great video man...your numbers like 444 box, is that how many box's you had set out?

[@Biglandtrapper]

It was either beaver or turbot I mix it up a bit, gotta be careful with the seal fat, don't want to get that on the fur, hard to come off ..!!

[@rezervationnationoutdoors3745]

[@goodfly1]

great video

[@Biglandtrapper]

Thank's, appreciate it ..!!

[@minktrappingpaddy]

So that's how it's done! Great information there, useing GPS. Do you do some pre-season scouting, finding good locations, before day one of trapping reason? Especially when your setting up in the dark. You put a lot of effort into your video's, thanks for sharing!

[@Biglandtrapper]

+Minktrappingpaddy You welcome, I don't do much scouting for marten trapping but for beaver & otter I do quiet a bit, usually in the fall combine a little hunting with some trapping scouting, maybe throw in a boilup, makes for a great day....

[@Biglandtrapper]

Right on man, thank's ..!!

[@Biglandtrapper]

Thank's, no there was some waypoints already there but I got over 100 marten boxes out ..!!

[@upnorth4600]

I prefer when my fur hangs away from the box and tree. Prevents fur slip and mice damage

[@trouttrapper]

What were you rubbing on the tree,...beaver..... seal fat??

[@Biglandtrapper]

Thank's, got a few but like to have a few more lol

[@SwampDonkey530]

Congrat's on your first catch...pretty soon you'll be nothin' but busy in your fur shed,eh

[@GoldenValleyTrapper]

[@Biglandtrapper]

+Luke Krause I have come home in the evening & not able to smell or taste my food ....lol

[@GoldenValleyTrapper]

+William Larkham Jr (Bigland Trapper) Haha. It's worth it for those marten catches!

[@jimf9909]

[@Biglandtrapper]

[@martentrapper872]

[@splishsplash2579]

The boxes that are upside down how is the trap held in

[@Biglandtrapper]

+splish splash The springs has the trap wedged in place, wish I knew the video I showed it in. Hope this helps, if you still don't understand let me know & i'll show it in another video.....

[@ThuBigHunter]

[@ТимурСиразетдинов-у6в]

Привет как ваше здоровья я ваш кино мне понравилось видео а у вас есть ли преманка кунису продаете

[@Biglandtrapper]

Then around 150, this year not sure, marten population may be down in this area, probably set up a new spot & see how it goes ..!!

[@ww7904]

Hi,how many traps on the line?

[@ryanburgess8436]

do you use 110's or 120's for the pine marten?

[@Biglandtrapper]

+Ryan Burgess Were not allowed to use 110's for marten, I use the Belisle 120 super X, very well made trap ....!!!!

[@ryanburgess8436]

***** thank you sir

[@YBCUT4bro]

Man you do not fuck around hey. Pro!!

[@MNtrapperjake]

Yeah i hear ya trap are like tools cant ever have enough of them ha

[@JDSFML]

Wish we had martin here to trap. Dont even have weasels any more and Mink have gotten so bad we see them killed on the roads any time you come by a pond or creek. No money for them thanks to the mink farmers so nobody traps them any more.

[@tothferko]

Strange to see that you are allowed to hunt martens in that part of the world. Those bastards do a lot of harm to our households and other property, but it is against the law to kill any. There is even a certain insurance for marten damages. Greetings from Hungary!

[@Biglandtrapper]

We have a very healthy population of marten here in Labrador, our wilderness areas are vast. Labrador being sparsely populated we don't have problems with property damage. Sounds like a bit of trapping would be good in your area, keep the population under control. Always interesting to get insights from other parts of the world, thank you ...!!

[@Biglandtrapper]

Thank's, appreciate it ..!!
